= 170 x 40%
= 170 x 0.4
= 68
170 - 68 = 102 boys

Which statement is true? O A. The number 23 is prime, but 36 is composite. B. The number 33 is prime, but 42 is composite. OC. T

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: A. The number 23 is prime, but 36 is composite.

=====================================================

Explanation:

Let's go through the possible answer choices

A) This is true because 23 only has the factors 1 and 23. So that's why 23 is prime. We can say 36 is composite since 2 is a factor, ie 36 = 2*18.
B) This is false because 33 is not prime. Note how 33 = 3*11, showing that 3 is a factor of 33.
C) Similar to B, the statement "21 is prime" is false. Note how 21 = 3*7.
D) Like the other false statements, 27 is not prime because 27 = 3*9.

What is the derivative of x^3

wolverine [178]

The derivative here is what you get when you bring the exponent down as the coefficient (i.e. the 3) and subtract the exponent by 1. In this case, the answer will be 3x^2.

If y=2-3x/x+3 express x in terms of y<br> [20pts]

ollegr [7]

Answer:

a. x = (2 -3y)/(y+3)

b. x = -4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Clear the fraction, collect x terms, divide by the coefficient of x.

$y=\dfrac{2-3x}{x+3}\\\\y(x+3)=2-3x\\\\3x+xy=2-3y\qquad\text{add $3x-3y$}\\\\x(y+3)=2-3y\qquad\text{factor out x}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{2-3y}{y+3}}\qquad\text{divide by the coefficient of x}$
